A paradise to visit 365 days a year
By extension, Sardinia is the second largest Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea. In other words, the charter allows you to discover the uncontaminated nature of the Mediterranean: coves, cliffs, rocks overlooking the sea and then kilometers of sandy beaches. Along the coast there are countless tourist ports. All this is Sardinia, one of the most beautiful destinations where you can spend a boat holiday and enjoy the beauty of clear water, beautiful sandy and white beaches, jagged and rocky coasts and an immense variety of seascapes. Furthermore, a boat holiday is ideal for visiting places accessible only by sea. A truly unique island that presents itself with an infinite number of shapes, colors and scents. The coasts of Sardinia are very different from each other, from east to west, and most allow anchoring.
Maddalena Archipelago
A catamaran holiday, especially in the Maddalena archipelago, is the dream of every sailing lover, as it was promoted to a national park in 1994 to protect the incredible natural environment that is home to over 1000 animal and plant species. In essence, the islands that form the Maddalena Archipelago are characterized by rocks shaped by strong winds and the sea: they are rounded, angular and sharp and represent a wonder of nature
Spargi, Budelli, Razzoli e Santa Maria
On the North coast, the wild Spargi awaits us, an uncontaminated paradise dotted with tiny sandy coves. The enchanting Cala Corsara stands out, where the rocks smoothed by the wind take on the most disparate shapes, Cala Granara on whose shore a cute wild pig lives, and the Spiaggia dell'Amore with very fine sand with pink reflections. A little further north on the island of Budelli, there is the very famous Spiaggia Rosa, among the most spectacular in Sardinia. On the island of Razzoli we find Cala Lunga, at the bottom of a fjord more than a mile deep, while on the adjacent island of Santa Maria there is a bay with a large sandy beach. The body of water between the three islands is called Porto Madonna.
Costa Smeralda
Sumptuous villas, luxury shops, huge super-yachts and the most elegant restaurants, you will find much more of this in Costa Smeralda. Starting from Porto Cervo you will be enchanted by the glittering yachts of the rich magnates and the boutiques of the big fashion brands. In Porto Rotondo you will find a well-kept marina full of sailing boats, with a thousand bars and restaurants just a stone's throw from the sea. Palau and Cannigione are two lively towns, with a frenetic nightlife in the summer months. Until we get to Baja Sardinia and finally the tiny jewel of Porto Rafael. The Costa Smeralda offers dozens of unmissable beaches for a catamaran cruise, such as Romazzino, and Petra Ruja, where you can enjoy an aperitif at sunset at Nikki Beach. Finally we have the islands of Mortorio and Le Camere, integral natural reserves with water so turquoise that it is the envy of the Maldives.
La Maddalena, Santo Stefano e Caprera
La Maddalena is the largest island in the archipelago, as well as the only one to have a real inhabited centre. We will find Cala Francese, the equipped beach of Stagno Torto, and the thousand shades of blue that lap the islet of Giardinelli. The island of Caprera is such a concentration of pristine beauty, so much so that it was chosen as Giuseppe Garibaldi's final resting place. The Garibaldi Compendium preserves his remains and has been converted into a very interesting museum. The most famous and popular beach is Cala Coticcio, nicknamed by locals "Tahiti beach" due to its incredible turquoise water. In the western part we have Cala Napoletana , and in the large bay of Cala Garibaldi. Then again to Cala Portese or dei due mari, where the water laps both sides of the inlet, and to Porto Palma, home to the historic Centro Velico Caprera, the oldest Italian sailing school.
L’Asinara e Stintino
Asinara and Stintino are located on the north-west coast of Sardinia and offer some of the most beautiful bays on the island such as the La Pelosa beach in Stintino where next to its older sister stands the island of Pelosetta from which the iconic Aragonese tower stands out . The Asinara national park is an uncontaminated place. The western part overlooks steep cliffs while the eastern coast opens up to wonderful sandy coves, such as Cala Oliva and Cala Sabina. Nearby it is impossible not to mention Castelsardo, elected one of the most beautiful villages in Sardinia. The Doria Castle is a true architectural spectacle that dominates the Gulf of Asinara.
Golfo di Olbia e Tavolara
Let's start from Capo Figari in the Gulf of Olbia dotted with many inlets, such as the spectacular Cala Moresca. Further ahead is the iconic silhouette of the island of Tavolara, an imposing granite mountain. Continuing towards Molara, we will find ourselves in front of its incredible natural swimming pools, an oasis of very clear sand in the north-western part of the island. In the Gulf of Olbia, however, we have the well-known Golfo Aranci, a small port with colorful houses flooded with the scents of fresh fish, and the pretty seaside village Porto San Paolo. Closing this stretch of sea is Capo Coda Cavallo, with its large white beach from which to admire the spectacular scenery of the protected marine area.
CORSICA
A boat holiday in Corsica is the ideal choice for those who prefer independent and human-scale tourism. In fact, here there is no trace of mega hotels and super crowded beaches, but rather a great respect for nature and local culture. “By the scent of its vegetation, from afar, with my eyes closed, I would recognize Corsica” Napoleon Bonaparte
Bonifacio
The gateway to this splendid land is Bonifacio, a unique place in the world due to its peculiar conformation: the port is located inside a long fjord, while the town develops vertically up to the overhang of the steep cliff. At Capo Pertusato, the southernmost point of the island, there is a series of beautiful caves and cenotes known only to local sailors.
Lavezzi Islands
On the island of Lavezzi we will find Cala Giunco where the transparent water and the seabed teeming with marine species will be the backdrop to your snorkeling sessions. The Island of Cavallo, where there is a small private port and no vehicles circulate in the town. At Cala di Zeri a majestic bay dotted with rocks and sandy areas awaits you. Finally, the Isola Piana whose sea would not look out of place when compared to the Maldives!
West Coast
The west coast of Corsica is the most suitable holiday location for lovers of uncontaminated nature and nights at anchor under the stars. We find dozens of deserted coves, including the Anse di Stagnolu, from which to enjoy fiery sunsets over the open sea, the iconic Baia di Roccapina and the Plage d'Argent, with its very fine, almost impalpable sand.
East Coast
Finally, on the east coast we find the Gulf of Rondinara, a perfectly circular bay with very fine sand and a nice restaurant directly on the beach, in the famous Spiaggia di Santa Giulia, and under the cliffs of Capo Bianco in Sant'Amanza. Also worth exploring is Porto Novo, a wild inlet full of sea urchins for a delicious aperitif on board the catamaran, and in Palombaggia, a very long white beach protected by a verdant pine forest.
